1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

CDH1, encoding the cell adhesion protein E-cadherin, is a critical tumor suppressor gene frequently altered in lobular breast cancer (LBC). Loss of CDH1 function, primarily through truncating or missense mutations and loss of heterozygosity, disrupts cell adhesion and polarity, promoting tumor invasiveness and metastasis. This molecular alteration defines LBC's unique histology and clinical behavior, including distinct metastatic patterns and therapeutic resistance. While epigenetic silencing is less common, CDH1 loss correlates with poorer survival outcomes. Understanding CDH1's role offers opportunities for targeted therapies and improved patient management, though further research is needed to address existing gaps.
